Fabulous fabrics to warm up your home this autumn
I frequently get asked for advice about furnishing fabrics, often as part of a complete home or room re-design or sometimes simply in the context of a room refresh, when new curtains or a new sofa fabric is required.
Here I share some of my recent finds, new to the market, that will help cosy up your interiors this autumn.
Wiltshire based fabric designer & manufacturer Fermoie has launched Hackford a single colour crewelwork on 100% linen. This beautiful fabric is reminiscent of an early English silk or wool damask. Grand yet relaxed.

Sitting beautifully with Hackford comes Eythorne a repeating small scale pattern based on the pineapple found in the Hackford collection.

House of Hackney has been busy reimagining some William Morris classics. Golden Lily comes in vibrant colourways ‘Obsidian’ & ‘Apatite’. Produced as a velvet, each metre sold enables House of Hackney to purchase and protect 35 square metres of forest thanks to a partnership with the World Land Trust.

Quercus is inspired by Morris’s Acorn print. An oak leaf design, this natural cotton is ideal for curtains, blinds and furniture upholstery – perfect for bringing the outside in this autumn without the need of a rake!

Rapture & Wright bring us three new fabrics - Hanna, Kuba & Delft. Kuba is dually inspired by the abstract designs of 17th Century woven & appliquéd Kuba cloth and the early 1950’s woodcuts of Saburo Haegawa.

Delft is an irregular stripe, inspired by painted porcelain, the origins of which zig-zagged across the globe from 14th century China to Holland via the Middle East and Spain.

And Hanna - named after the Japanese word for Blossom, a pretty and irregular dot which works perfectly as a foil for bolder patterned designs.

Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler re-introduce Indian Fuchsia, a delicate all-over floral. Standing apart thanks to its unusual dark ground and punchy palette, this faithful reproduction of Indian chintz reflects the renewed interest in classic patterns and prints.
